What survives this sale

HOA/POA liens can survive a Texas tax sale if the association recorded its lien and was not properly joined/notified. Federal tax liens survive (IRS rights). Post-judgment taxes and unjoined municipal liens may remain — search deed records before bidding.

Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — Texas requires appraisal at 100% of market value as of Jan 1 (Tex. Tax Code § 23.01). Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
